I wonder if someone can just vibecode an app for iPad mini to do the same things as HomeView and just mount it on the wall or have a 3D printed stand for it.

Also the most unrealistic part about the intro video by apple for this was that not a single person in the kitchen was on their phone and was waiting their turn to use this thing. Do iPhones doesn't exists on the universe where they filmed that ad?

too true...and doesn't that miss out on one of apple's power plays? Their hardware ecosystem (their software ecosystem was touched on a little).

I don’t think that works.
